Fanlore's Journal

We've had a bit of rain - nearby weather station recorded 10.2 to 9am yesterday, and 21.6 to 9am today. I haven't looked attotal for the last week, but in terms of June rain, that is good, but not unusual. It is, however, still raining.

ETA: From http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/cw_009172.shtml mean June rainfall is 151 mm while median is 156 mm, usually 13 days of rain. It is the second wettest month.

Today:

• 'tis wet. Very wet. be careful of water on the roads wet (not flood warnings, but the 'if you have a road that floods, it will' levels of wet)
• driving tour for G attempting to hit as many items from their wishlist as possible. Beach and Bell Tower were possible; Fremantle Markets, caves, and whatever I've forgotten were not. We headed for Woodman Point, which is one place where I know that there is a car park right on the beach, so that G didn't have to walk very far (say, 10m total). Then drove what could be an interesting walking tour of Old Fremantle (markets, oval, gaol, arts centre, 2 * high schools), a drive past Heathcote, up the freeway, loop the loop around the Bell Tower, and then out to the aeroport.
• relaxed afternoon, doing bugger all.

Yesterday:

• Having a somewhat lazy day, after the hectic pace of SwanCon over the weekend (by which I mean that I was in bed well before midnight, and in fact did zero carousing, including failing to go to the Dead Dog). Slept in, dropped G in Innaloo, had anniversary lunch with A in Gwelup.
• Other notable tasks of the day include bringing the washing in before it rained, running (and hanging up) two loads of washing, and setting the table back to 'every day' arrangement after having people to dinner on Friday. Every time I do that I think 'should do this more often' because there are so many fabulous people I don't get to catch up with nearly often enough.

Backdated entry

Three of us got our annual flu vax today; this was slightly less organised than it might have been, and if I'd realised that the web page wasn't going to send the bookings through correctly (we got our confirmation SMSes after we got home) then I might have just tried walk-in (which the sign out the front says they are doing). Very much appreciate that for this month and next flu vax is free for everyone so we don't have to do the 'who is covered' thing. Reminder for Aussies -- flu vax! Get one if you haven't!

addendum Youngest attempted the walk in option, it was even less organised, which I didn't realise was possible.
